Miss Illinois 2015, Crystal Davis, spent her year speaking passionately about her platform – “Crystal Clear Driving – Eyes on the Road”.

During her presentations, Crystal often shared about being in a car accident – and how many times it’s preventable if you’re concentrating on the task at hand.

She also spoke about a close friend of hers who passed away, because of another driver at the wheel who was distracted.

Crystal’s also had the chance to sing and perform the National Anthem all over the state, and also put her dancing skills to the test in “Dancing with Chicago Celebrities” and “Dancing with the Brokers”. Not bad for a woman from Anna, Illinois – with a population of a little over 4000 people.

Junkies know Crystal has made a difference in her community and in her state this year – and theres on doubt, she’ll most certainly continue making a difference in the years to come. 🙂  ALL THE BEST CRYSTAL!!! 🙂

And now – who do we think has the best chance at being named Miss Illinois 2016?

“In case the new Miss Georgia can not fulfill her duties – the 1st Runner Up will take her place…”

That’s exactly what happened when Miss Georgia 2015 Betty Cantrell, went on to win Miss America and Adeline Kenerly (Betty’s 1st Runner Up), was named Miss Georgia 2015!

Adeline’s crowning ceremony actually took place during half-time of the Alabama-Georgia football game at Sanford Stadium.  You can catch the whole event right here!

Talk about Exhilarating!!! And super fitting because Adeline is a featured twirler/majorette for the University of Georgia Red Coat Marching Band!

Some states are super lucky when they have not only an amazing Miss America, but also an incredible runner up who can step in and take over where the original winner left off. Adeline fits the bill incredibly well – which certainly speaks of the Miss Georgia organization as a whole! Congrats again Adeline – Junkies wish you all the best!

And now – who do we think will be named Miss Georgia 2016?  No pressure – but last year – we accurately predicted every one of the Top 5 finalist in Georgia… Can we do it again?

One of Morgan Jackson’s judges at the Miss Indiana pageant was Dave O’Brien.  When he’s not busy judging pageants, Dave is a radio host on Country 97.1 Hank FM.  And after Morgan won the title, Dave invited her to be on the air with him… (it’s a fun interview – catch the whole thing here).

During the interview, Morgan talks about her platform called Project Impact: If Not You, Then Who?  She explained how important it is to do something to appreciate  people within your community. That’s why she organized #ImpactDays – to appreciate folks like firefighters and police officers by having folks write thank you notes or bake cookies.

“A lot of people feel like they need to make this huge time investment, and sometimes that’s required… But a lot of times, it just takes a few minutes a day to make an impact in someone’s life and to not be afraid to start small.”

That’s the kind of impact that goes a long ways for people who don’t normally get recognized – And we LOVE how she used the power of social media to motivate a greater audiences to go out and make a difference in their communities!

Junkies know Morgan has a wonderful future in front of her – and can’t wait to see her life beyond pageantry! Oh – and a quick side note – We also wanna give a great big shout-out to everyone from Indiana who allowed us join in the “clown car of awesomeness” at Miss America’s Outstanding Teen last summer… Still makes me giggle every time I think about it! 🙂

And now – who do Junkies think has the best chance of being named Miss Indiana 2016?

Brooke Mitchell is one of those uber-talented ladies who just couldn’t decide which talent she should display at Miss America…

During her pageant completion years, in Delaware’s Outstanding Teen as well as Miss Delaware, Brooke “rotated talents” pretty regularly.  Sometimes she danced, sometimes she twirled, and sometimes, she tapped.

Interestingly enough, people suggested that perhaps she could combine some of her talents together… Which is exactly what she did on the Miss America stage! Introducing, the Miss America “Twirl Tap” Talent!!!

Turns out, the “Twirl Tap Talent” was a pretty good choice for Atlantic City… Brooke came home with a Non-Finalist Talent Award for her performance at Miss America!  In fact, Delaware has been on a roll lately – Seven out of the last eight Miss Delaware winners have gone on to win a special award at Miss America! Congrats Brooke on extending that streak and doing the state of Delaware proud!

During Brooke’s podcast with us (which airs next week!), she talked about how she “kinda stumbled” into several things during her time as Miss Delaware.  It’s a good reminder to all of us that sometimes the blessings in disguise are the things you need to pay attention to when preparing for a once in a lifetime experience.

Junkies wish Brooke all the best in her future endeavors!  And who do we think has the best chance of extending Delaware’s streak next year at Miss America?

GOOD LUCK LADIES!!! Junkies LOVE Delaware!!!
